Hello Buddy!

MARCH 5 2017

Hey Elder! I guess we won't hear from you today since you had your Preparation day on Saturday. But I know it was totally worth it for you! It's worth it for me as well to know that they were able to do the work for their family and for them to gain a testimony of that work. I'm sure it will be a day you will remember FOREVER!

SPEAKING OF TEMPLE WORK..... I am attaching Elaina's Mission call to this letter. (if it will work, I may have to send as a separate attachment) I'm sure she has already told you but she came over to our house and read her call to us. YAY!!!! So excited for her. She is going through the temple this Wednesday and she invited us. I'm so excited! She really wanted to go through the Provo City temple for the first time but she has sister's who would have to get a babysitter and needed to be closer to home so she was so amazing to honor what they wanted. She is so selfless!!!! I LOVE HER SO MUCH! Maybe as much as you do, ha ha. 

Lexie had a competition this weekend. They did really good and would have placed second but unfortunately, they ended up being disqualified because their floor got a bubble. :( She was very sad. She has had a hard time with some of the girls from Viewmont and telling her to go back to Davis. Her captain said that to her in front of everyone. Lexie had tears that day when she came home. She was trying to be brave but was very sad. 

We got our website all up and going with all the information. Finally! if you are able to look at a trek website it's 2017trek.com. We put Troy's video and song on there along with a letter from us and the Stake Presidency. 

The plans are coming along and seem to be working out so far. We have like 250 kids registered so far which is about 50% of the youth. So we are still trying to get everyone registered so we know how many Ma's and Pa's we will need. So grateful the Lord is the one in charge. Hee Hee. 

I felt such a strong presence of my Dad today. I miss him tons yet it seems like he is still here. My mom leaves for her big trip to the middle east this week on Thursday. I'm sure he will be going with her to watch over and protect. She is really excited but it has been so stressful for her. My brothers gave her a blessing and she is doing much better. 

Did I tell you she submitted her mission papers? She is so excited. 

Grandma and Alyssa did a photo for Alyssas Miss Farmington Sponsorship from Aspire Home Health and Hospice. It turned out really cute!!!! I attached the pic. 

I attached Lexie and her ribs.... and some Colorgurad pics. 

Well, I love you so much Buddy. You are such an amazing example of obedience and faith. I'm so grateful that you are using the power of the priesthood to serve and that you are putting your whole heart and soul into it. 

All Is Well!!! The lord sent me some nurses. I can always count on him :) Maybe not on my timing but he will always bless me. 

Love Ya!!! Mommy

PS, did you get your package?

Time Flys Fast!

June 25, 2017 Hey buddy!!! How are you? Hows the weather been? Still crazy rainy? It's been way hot here. I loved your video of the rain. That was crazy sauce.  This week has been good. Not too crazy, just working and spending time with Dad as much as I can. Today is our 25th Anniversary, crazy! Life really goes by so fast.  We are watching the drum corps right now. Cool but they will get better with time. It's still really early in the season.  We had a way long trek meeting today but really feel like the Lord is guiding us and we have so many amazing people who are helping to plan it. It was pretty cool last night when I was praying in my closet, I prayed that my ancestors will help plan trek and help make sure that everything goes well. I felt the room grow with people. My closet seemed to no longer have walls and I could feel the expansiveness of all our ancestors pulling for us. There are so many. Not just a few but people beyond count, I felt like ...

YO YO YO ONE YEAR!!!!

July 16 2017 WOWZERS!!!! I can't believe you will have been on a mission for 1 whole year on the 20th........ CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! This world is flying by so fast and I can't even keep up. I can't believe we are already going to be going on trek in 10 days. Any you have been gone almost 365 days.. WHAT... Well, I can't wait to hear all about your new opportunities. I pray you are looking to the Lord to help you do everything. I was thinking about that today and it's something I'm going to share with they youth on Trek. It is easy to get so overwhelmed with everything that is coming at you and all the responsibility that seems to pile up. Sometimes I just want to go in my closet and cry. I think, no way, I can't do one more thing. And then guess what? I pray to My Father in Heaven and somehow he makes things work out. I pray for strength to meet the challenges and I pray for peace to know I can do this. I've imagined this week as being called to...

Testimony of Trek

August 6 2017 Hello Buddy!!! Wow, these weeks are flying by so fast!!! I started writing my Trek book and it's about 6 pages now and I am only on the first trekking day. Ha Ha. Ya, probably too much details that I am putting into it but I will give you a quicker version.  I had already told you how we were setting it all up for gear drop off and how we were getting everyone to the stake center that morning. Well, the night before I heard the rain and thunder...... oh man. I went into my closet to pray that I know Heavenly Father needs us to learn something on trek but I did ask if it be his will would he temper the weather. Ha Ha, here I am asking for the weather not to be too hot and also not to be rainy.  So at drop off we had many youth that didn't show up and ended up not coming and some that said they will show up in the morning. We also had a Ma and Pa decide not to come and didn't tell us. We didn't know until the night before we left. WOW. It's...
